I earned my MFA in Writing from Lindenwood University. Before that, I received my BA from University of Central Missouri. I graduated from both schools with honors.
Before I went into teaching, I wrote for magazines, newspapers, and a publishing company. I also published poetry, flash fiction, creative nonfiction, and 5 full-length books.
But I really missed being in the classroom, so 4 years ago, I started to substitute teach. I taught every grade from K to 12.
I wanted to understand how language was presented to students from an early age and how to reach each pupil using the best possible didactic for their specific needs. I eventually taught 9th and 12th grade Literature and Composition full time.
While I was working in different schools during the day, I was tutoring at night. I tutored Chinese senior citizens preparing for their citizenship exams, parents from Mexico learning English to set a good example for their children, and I even tutored tax preparation to people courageously changing careers later in life.
It was during this time, and the months that followed, I tutored at Sylvan, focusing on test prep and college application essays. I also helped HS seniors and those just starting out in college with some of their writing challenges.
I now teach at the college level. I love learning from my students every day, and I fall more and more in love with language and what it can do to mend broken hearts, resolve conflicts, and mitigate loneliness.
I truly believe no one should feel they are "bad" at language. Therefore, I strive to find ways to foster curiosity, because if the student is curious and having fun, he or she will naturally want to improve and seek out opportunities to grow.
I will continue gleaning wisdom from my students and striving to improve my pedagogy each day I'm able to make teaching my occupation, my delight, my honor.
